Busy Tech Exec Loses 20 lbs in 100-Day Fat Loss Challenge! Here's How He Did It - 117
Chris is a tech executive with three kids, aging parents who need him, and a job that keeps him on planes more weeks than not. He recently finished The Call To Rise 100-Day Fat Loss Challenges and lost twenty pounds without giving up wine at dinner or skipping pizza night with his family.
This episode is for business owners, entrepreneurs, and driven men who care about men's health but feel like fat loss and fitness always lose to work and family once the week gets busy.
Chris explains how he protected his energy during travel, client dinners, and a packed schedule, and what it took to build real energy instead of running on caffeine and stress alone. He also shares the moment his doctor told him he was close to needing blood pressure medication, and why that conversation changed how seriously he took his own health.
Brian and Chris talk through nutrition strategy for men who travel for work, how stress management and decision fatigue quietly wreck a man's focus, and why chasing a perfect plan usually backfires.
They also get into how better energy and fewer bad food decisions carried into his business performance, not only the number on the scale.
Whether you're running a company, leading a team, or growing your own online business, this conversation is about protecting your health without sacrificing work-life balance.
